\"\"<\/a>I have been working with dogs for over 36 years. I began as a veterinary nurse in London and travelled to the Cotswold, and for 24 years training in  Oxford\/Berkshire borders. Now training in Gwithian, using the beautiful Church hall for my young pups and also offering  training walks outside on the Towans , keeping it as real as it gets, for older dogs.<\/p>\n

I studied at Southampton University and I have a Certificate in Applied Animal Behavior (this is the under graduate diploma to the Masters in companion animal behavior)<\/p>\n

As well this and many other behavioral qualifications, I also qualified and worked for 13 years as a veterinary nurse. I work as a dog trainer most days and aid in behavioral problems in Hayle the surrounding areas. My new home also offers a board and train option where you can come and relax with your dog in a self contained annex , spend up to 2 hours training 2 times a day, and then the rest of the time is yours. A new favourite with many clients <\/p>\n

My work involves helping to prevent problems by running training classes which all lean to a “manners for life” programme. I also assist people with 1-1 training either at their homes, at my office or out on the dunes. I also help those who have dogs with behavioural problems on an individual basis .<\/p>\n

Experience does not come with the years someone is qualified but from the hands on teaching, redirecting and interaction with dogs. As a FULL time dog trainer I am working with dogs on a daily basis. I was running up to 14 classes a week with 6-8 dogs in a class, in Henley and with continued support from one of the top behaviorists, other experienced trainers and several veterinary surgeons I have the confidence to guide you along the right path for your dog\u2019s happy and healthy life, resulting in a wonderful member of your family.<\/p>\n

Now here in Gwithian I am concentrating on smaller groups and will focus on neutrality, attention to owner, alongside the core basics. <\/p>\n

Behavioural work is still one of my main daily requests and to me one of my biggest joys to help those who have been failed before.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
